Specification describing a new and useful Improvement in `Soldering-Rod,invented by `WILLIAM M. NEILL, of Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfieldand State of Connecticut.

This invention relates to soldering tin-roofs more especially, but isadapted to other` purposes. Tin-roofs are .generally soldered withresin'and solder separate. The plates of tin are fitted .and'laid, and`the joints are made ready `for soldering, and lthen Vthe resin in theform of powder is sprinkled over the surface where the joints are to bemade and then the solder is applied. There are objections to this mode,as the resin frequently becomes disf placed by jarring, or the wind'blows the dry Vpowder away. In windy weather it is almost impossible tosolder a roof.

My invention consists in a combination solderingrod, composed of atubeor rod of solder lled or combined with resin, the tube being "ofsuitable size to furni-sl1,when melted by the solderin g-iron, therequisite quantity of solder,

and the bore of' the tube to furnish the requisite quantity of resin,thetwo being applied 'section'of an open V-shaped rod.

Similar letters of reference indicate correl spending parts. ,Y f

A is the combination soldering-rod. B represents the metal, and O theresid; Instead of au entire tube, a half tube may be employed forholding the resin, or an angular or V- shaped rod of solder, as' seen inFig. 2 or a rod or plate of solder of any shape, with which theirequiredquantity of resi.. is combined, whereby the resin and the solder may bedeposited simultaneously by the soldering-iron or copperJ I do nottherefore confine myself to any precise form, but to any comblnation ofa solderig-rod'and resin which will'allo'w .the two to be usedsimultaneously or as they are required for soldering.

Having thus described my invention, I claim same time.
